GEMADARC

Germanium Materials and Detectors Advancement Research Consortium

NSF PIRE

NSF Partnerships for International Research and Education Program

A global partnership funded by NSF PIRE to advance germanium technologies for the search of dark matter, neutrinoless double-beta decay and other rare physics processes with world-class education and training platforms and opportunities.

Mission

To advance knowledge, research and discovery in fundamental physics by developing novel detectors that will improve the sensitivity of ton-scale DM and neutrino experiments.

To increase knowledge and advance frontier physics education and training for undergraduate STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) majors, graduate students, post-docs, and early career faculty, and develop a diverse workforce in physics and engineering.

To improve global collaboration on Ge related technology through integrative global partnerships, anchored by best-in-class research facilities, resources, and expertise.
